Because Visual Aids Make the News That Much More Compelling

Just when I thought the whole thing was played out, Cheryl Atkinson on the CBS Evening News filed a report on the new baby Panda (awwww!) tonight. Not only did she report that the baby is about the same size and weight as a stick of butter, she even displayed an actual stick of butter to the camera, thus really driving the point home. Now I get it!

This comment by Pony Pal™ Ms Stressa, from an earlier "stick of butter" update, is worth posting here:

I worry about the critical time when the panda baby is the size of a burrito.
